Nuseed's climate positive champions - The people progressing Nuseed Carinata as a renewable fuel globally


Australia
December 18, 2020

A critical element of Nuseed’s success, especially when it comes to Nuseed Carinata, is its continued commitment to investing in the right people and making targeted acquisitions to expand its knowledge and technology.

In a previous blog, we spoke to members of the Nuseed Carinata Team. Here we find out more about two other important members of the Carinata team, championing its qualities as a scalable and sustainable cover crop, used to produce renewable fuel. 
 

Glenn Johnston


Glenn Johnston, Nuseed’s Carinata Global Regulatory Lead, has over 30 years’ experience in the biotech/chemical global regulatory arena. Prior to Nuseed, Glenn’s position was Executive Director of Regulatory Affairs for the crop’s developer.

Glenn serves as the chair of the regulatory committee and board member of the Advanced Biofuels Association (ABFA), board member of the Low Carbon Fuels Coalition (LCFC) and chairs the ICAO CAEP Sustainable Aviation Fuels Producer Group.

Glenn says: “Carinata is grown between food crops, contributes to food production with its non-GMO meal, is a purpose-built biofuel feedstock producing non-food oil with unmatched potential to reduce greenhouses gases and sequester soil carbon. Nuseed has the global footprint and connection to local growers to make what many on our team have been working on for the past decade a reality. Does it get more exciting?”
 

Rina-Cerrato


Rina Cerrato is Nuseed’s first Senior Carbon Modelling Specialist. Her top priority is to develop analytical tools, based on real data, that will support the Nuseed Carinata business development team and inform strategic decisions, as the crop is commercialized.

Rina says: “Developing carinata as a feedstock for low-carbon fuels will meet multiple regulatory schemes being implemented or under development, including the collective goal of the Paris Agreements of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°c by 2050. I see my role on the Nuseed Carinata team as my contribution to climate change mitigation.”

Rina has a degree in Environmental Engineering and a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University and is based in Canada. Her experience is in carbon markets, policy and greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification and analysis, as well as regulatory compliance. 

Nuseed Carinata is RSB certified feedstock providing best in class, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction when used to replace petroleum diesel. Read more here.
